Shame on you all. It isn’t nice to mock someone because common sense isn’t their first language. ---

Don’t worry, **Isk**. Scooter’s not an elected official, so he isn’t subject to impeachment. Even if the CIA is more consequential than oral sex, the Dems have still fielded the highest-ranking perjurer in the game, so you win. :wally ---

**New Iskander,** why do you hate America? Seriously… to give the CIA a moral value, either good or evil, is to miss the point. As an organization, the CIA is an instrument. It can be _used_ for good or evil, depending on who is calling the shots at the time. But to say “The CIA is \_\_\_\_\_” is as meaningless as saying “This knife is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_”. Not that I expect **New Iskander** to embrace anything as subtle as this, as the OP seems to be nothing more than a lame-ass attempt at ranting against “evul liburils”. ---
